They provided students with access to accommodations that allowed them to participate more independently during lessons and assignments. Features such as text-to-speech, speech-to-text, enlarged text, audio support, and educational learning applications helped students access grade-level content in ways that met their individual needs.\r\nThe iPads also increased student engagement and motivation by providing interactive learning opportunities that supported reading, writing, and comprehension skills. Students were able to work at their own pace, receive immediate feedback, and practice targeted skills through differentiated activities. Additionally, the technology helped reduce frustration for students who struggle with traditional paper-and-pencil tasks, allowing them to demonstrate their understanding more effectively.\r\nOverall, the use of iPads enhanced accessibility, promoted independence, and supported academic growth for my special education students. Thank you for providing this valuable resource, which made a meaningful difference in meeting the diverse learning needs of my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1684779530908,"projectUrl":"project/talking-through-technology/7370352/","projectTitle":"Talking Through Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blount","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8896184_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722398233988","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8896184"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26040","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":402,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":80,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"8.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":30.2,"schoolId":26040,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about District of Columbia Preparatory Edgewood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"District of Columbia Preparatory Edgewood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/district-of-columbia/district-of-columbia-public-charter-school-board/dc-preparatory-academy-elementary-school/26040"}
